Here is our Crash team.  We have crammed in vehicles, become sweaty and filthy, and have made the name of Christ a bit more famous in New Orleans.

Saturday is a travel day.  Hope to arrive in TH early Sunday morning.  Thanks for the prayers and great support. 

Would you love an experience like this?  We have another trip in July.  For more information, email Jeanette Souder at vjsouder@yahoo.com.

A final video bonus for ya.  Live from Bourbon Street

The evening was full of extremes.  We toured the 9th Ward.  The 10 passenger van was crammed with 12 adults.  The ride through the 9th ward was silent.

Check it out.

After the 9th ward, we went from one extreme to the other, hitting dinner in the French quarter.   For a taste of Cajun, check out the video below.  Oh, I forgot to mention that we had fried alligator as an appetizer.  Yes, it tastes like chicken.
